Here's one that came true. I created this mock-up of a Polish EP07 to assist with the repaint of a real EP07 for a special event. It was obviously convincing, as two magazines printed it as the real thing! The real loco, EP07-1051, can be seen in the inset photo by R. Boduszek.

From Andy Elms at 2008-02-15 20:09:25 : That shape... it looks strangely familiar...
From Matthew Harbon at 2008-02-18 19:14:03 : Ewwwwwwww! Its hidious. But a great mock up!
From RichardP at 2008-02-19 12:32:56 : Perhaps for an encore, you could do an 83 in the Polish red and cream livery that EP07-1051's class mates are wearing.
From Iain B at 2008-03-17 01:30:21 : Brilliant! Love the 'finger in dust' ETL on the cab!
From Damon at 2008-03-30 11:50:22 : That ETL is actually a copyright overlay!
Very good though!
From GWR 4612 at 2008-11-08 16:14:26 : If you look closely, the left-hand (from head-on view) is the wrong way round, comparing it to the inset picture.
From at 2008-11-08 16:31:23 : ???? What's the wrong way round?
From at 2008-12-06 22:01:25 : Ah - you mean the headlight. So it is.
